Dragon Stompy Primer
Grand Prix Chicago Top 8- 3/8/2009
Fourth Place

Mink here- a bit of a lurker, but hopefully this will help you all in what you decide to play in future legacy events. As I utilized this site for much of my brainstorming for Legacy, I wanted to write for the community and give my thoughts on the format.

I’ve read quite a few tournament reports, as I’m sure all of you have too. When reading them I often find that the little bits of story involved can sometimes be boring, or outright annoying for when I simply would like to read about the ins and outs of how a deck works. I’ll try to get right into the meat of that issue, and write a bit more of my own personal experience towards the end so those who don’t care for such things can just skip it. I would however, like to say that everyone I met over the weekend was pretty awesome so say hey some time!

Here’s the build I played:

4 Arc-Slogger
4 Gathan Raiders
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Rakdos Pit Dragon
4 Simian Spirit Guide
3 Taurean Mauler
4 Seething Song
2 Blood Moon
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Chrome Mox
4 Trinisphere
4 Ancient Tomb
4 City Of Traitors
11 Mountain

SB
4 Boil
4 Pyroclasm
1 Blood Moon
1 Pithing Needle
3 Powder Keg
2 Umezawa’s Jitte

There are a few things to talk about here, especially the main deck- which I feel is very solid, considering I didn’t change anything about the main deck from when I won the GPT leading up to Chicago. The deck list that I won the GPT is posted on www.deckcheck.net under the legacy Dragon Stompy lists. I’ve also noticed that others who have ran my exact main deck have done well in other tournaments. I’m hoping others will try out the deck as well.
